The recommended break in is stay below 4k for the first 1k. I don't know why you wouldn't do that, its in the manual. It looks to me like you are coming up with your own break in procedure. Why not follow the recommended guidelines? Also it shouldn't matter what mode the car is in since you'll be staying out of boost and below 4k anyways.

Hard break in's have been proven to provide the best ring seals, etc which can reduce oil consumption later in life.

For one I'm not coming up with my own procedure, its based off comments / videos from other people that have already done this. And for rest your post, obviously not only have u not read alot of threads on the forums as of late about this topic but also this thread as well so I'm not goin to post a 2 page essay to argue with u.

I didn't mean to start an argument. My point was to follow what soa says for the car. That's all.

I will share with everyone something.... If a car has a port installed option, they install all of those options on every car at one port. They do not distribute the cars to many ports and maintain multiple facilities for these installs. It would make sense to ship all of these cars for east coast distribution to a port that is in the same state as your North America HQ...

Meridian ace has skipped baltimore entirely and is headed past new york....

You need to back and read more posts. We have been tracking this ship for weeks. It was just in NJ, before that Virginia, before that, FL, and before that squeezing through panama. We confirmed it skipped Baltimore on the way North.

It came though Panama, around the pan handle, stopped in Jacksonville, then the Norfolk port in Virginia, skipped Baltimore and was just unloading in NJ. The ship is moving north after each stop. As far as I know this the same path as the previous ships...with the exception of skipping a port for some reason.

I'm one of them, so I've been watching petty closely. Stalking, actually

Go to vesseltracker.com and sign up. Its free, once you do that go to the ship and hit alert options or something like that. It will send you an email every time it changes its destination or status. Beats going to marine traffic.com constantly imo

I was told my SOA a few weeks ago that my car was on the Meridian Ace and would be dropped off in Baltimore. They also gave me the VIN and told me to expect to be able to pick it up at my dealership in Cary, NC on 12/10. My salesman told me the other day that the car would be "released" on the 6th of this month (I asked if that meant it would released from the port, he wasn't sure). I think that syncs with the car being unloaded in the next day or two in Baltimore, port installed options put on and shipped to NC.
